This is really good. Since I didn't have fresh lemons, I had to use bottled juice (ReaLemon) and I was very pleased with the result. I will certainly make this again.

For all the 5 star reviews I was expecting something really extraordinary here, thinking maybe it was that ideal ratio between lemon juice and number of tea bags or something. This was good, but just average brewed iced tea. Certainly nothing unusual or special.

This was a good recipe but I made some mods and adjusted it to my own preferences. I used 3 bags of Green Tea, steeped for around 1 1/2 hour. Used no sugar or sugar substitute and squeezed some lemon in it (about 1/2). Nice and refreshing, and beneficial health wise too. I will be using these measurements for chilled green tea from now on! For sweetness I may add fresh blueberry juice or POM juice in the future. Updating: After a few days of this sitting in my fridge I have come to the realization that this tastes like the iced teas find at Starbucks (I'm personally a big fan of the unsweetened ones in the summer)! Again a keeper for sure, the measurements and timing are perfect!!!!!

I halved this recipe and used Splenda instead of sugar. I also use orange and spice herb tea bags. This was quite refreshing and I look forward to making this tea in the summer!

Excellent! I doubled the recipe except for the lemon juice (left that at 1/2 cup). After the water had boiled I added the tea bags, lemon juice & sugar. I covered the pan and let it steep for 2 hours. Loved it!

I halved this recipe except that I still used 3 tea bags. Also, I used green tea instead of black and combined lime and lemon juice so I could use up an extra lime I had. Turned out great!

This was really easy & is super yummy! I used fresh squeezed lemon and it really makes a difference. You may need to add more sugar depending on your sugary preference. It's inexpensive and fun to make. I'll certainly be making this Iced Tea all summer long!

Was skeptical that it would actually taste like store-bought iced tea, but it came out fabulous!Will make my own iced tea at home from now on. Thank you very much!

I think this iced tea would have been much better without the addition of lemon juice.

a little backing soda can help the bitter or tart taste if you add it to the water before you steep the the tea I use a 1/4 teaspoon but some areas water is more or less acidic which will have its affects on the tea made

I thought this was good. I like a strong tea with lemon and lots of sugar. If you like black coffee or tea, you may want to cut on the sugar but I had to increase it!

This is how we've made iced tea for as long as I can remember. I didn't let my tea bags seep the full hour since I don't like a strong tea taste and I just heated my water in the microwave. I've also used different flavor tea bags and it's always good. Thanks for sharing.

I grew up with ice tea in my house. My Mom use to make it during the summer months. But you need to have fresh lemons...it taste so much better that way. My Mother sometimes would add lemons, limes and oranges in the pitcher. I drink it now all year long...I don't add the sugar but use about 2 to 3 wedges of fresh squeezed lemons.
